properly.
If
it
determines
the
connection
is
not
functioning,
the
modem
will
then
attempt
to
reconnect
to
TELUS
to
reestablish
IP
connectivity.
Configuring Keepalive
In
AceManager,
the
Keepalive
settings
are
part
of
the
Other

•
*IPPING
sets
the
interval,
in
minutes,
you
want
Keepalive
to
test
the
network
connection.
To
disable
Keepalive,
set
*IPPING
to
0
(default
setting).
Note: 15 minutes is the minimum time which can be set for Keepalive.
If you set *IPPING for a value less than the minimum, the minimum
value will be set.
•
*IPPINGADDR
sets
the
IP
address
you
want
to
use
for
the
connection
test.
Caution: If *IPPINGADDR is left blank or is set to an invalid IP
address (example, an IP which is unreachable or one which is not a
valid IP address), modem performance will be adversely affected.
Data usage using Keepalive
Keepalive
is
an
optional
feature.
If
you
frequently
pass
data
with
your
modem,
you
most
likely
do
not
need
to
have
Keepalive
enabled.
When
using
Keepalive,
be
aware
that
a
ping
moves
approximately
66
bytes
of
data
over
the
network
